Black Mammoth Identifies New Drill Target at Nevada Gold Property
Event summary
- Black Mammoth's IP survey at Antelope Gold property identified a resistivity and chargeability anomaly in the north zone, potentially indicating a feeder zone for gold mineralization.
- The anomaly is associated with a range-bounding structure and a dike-filled structure, coinciding with historical gold mineralized drill holes.
- Historical drilling by Phelps Dodge yielded 1.88 g/t gold over 12.19m, including 3.41 g/t over 4.57m in the target zone.
- Black Mammoth has expanded the Antelope property to 321 hectares (795 acres) with the addition of 8 new lode claims.
- The company owns the property 100% with no royalties, share compensation, or work commitment amounts.
The big picture
Black Mammoth's identification of a new drill target at the Antelope Gold property underscores the company's strategic focus on acquiring and exploring non-core properties in the western US. The discovery comes amid a broader industry trend of increased exploration activity in historically productive mining districts, particularly in Nevada, known for its rich gold endowment. The company's aggressive acquisition strategy, with 27 core properties acquired since January 2024, positions it as a notable player in the region's mining sector.
